You can go all out Clark Griswold and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on your holiday decorating this year without risking falling off the roof or running up a thousand-dollar electrical bill. Just make yourself a Christmas Vacation Village with these miniatures from Department 56*.

The collection includes over a dozen iconic places, props, characters, and scenes from the film. Your tableau of Christmas Vacation miniatures starts with the Griswold house, complete with functional (albeit an inaccurate number of) lights in your choice of solid or flashing modes. To it you can add the Griswold Holiday Garage, a Fire It Up Dad! Rusty figure, Cousin Eddie's RV, and then Cousin Eddie himself. In his classic and festive cleaning-out-the-shitter pose.

Seinfeld Adventure, despite looking like a pixel-populated resurgence of a game from the 90s, is a video game about nothing that really is nothing. For now. But with the help of the internet - us - creators Jacob Janerka...

Why you gotta taunt me, Corgi Butt Leggings? Like I don't want to pet, pat, and smack my wife's ass often enough as it is. Especially now that we're sheltering up in place, so it's within about 50' of me 24/7. Adding...
